Lower Marlboro Wharf

Lower Marlboro Wharf is one of twenty steamboat landings/wharves located in Calvert County. Approximately 36 miles from where the Patuxent meets the Chesapeake, the wharf was an important mode of transportation for local residents, farms, and businesses.

Today, the public can fish from the pier and enjoy the view of the Patuxent River.

No fees. Limited parking and no facilities.
Wharf open dawn to dusk. No overnight parking.
A floating dock was installed for kayak, canoe, and paddleboard launching. Please visit the Calvert Nature Society web site on the Lower Marlboro Wharf.
